Found a 67 Galaxie 500 four door for sale.

I was driving to lunch today and I saw this wonderful 67 Galaxie 500 for sale.What really turned my head was the shiny red paint and that it was a sedan model, how rare is that ??I talked to the owner for a while and got some good juicy info on it.The car has just over 69000 miles on it, the previous owner owned it for 40 years and kept a extensive service log. He also installed new correct Ford vinyl bench seats between 5 and 10 years ago. He also had the car repainted although in this LA climate its starting to peel and bubble in places. I was surprised to see very little rust. The trunk was solid as was the engine bay.The car has a 289 single carb motor, 3speed Ford-O-Matic trans, A/C, P/S, Im unsure about power brakes but because its a family car it wouldnt surprise me if it had them.The owner wants 7500 dollars for it, while I cant afford that. I hope the car finds a good new home.Enjoy the pictures.

That's fine. No team, no city is better equipped to weather a storm than New Orleans.

And that storm has turned this entire region into David, and we all know what happens to David.

I actually prefer the 4door models, I cant explain why.The 2 doors are pretty sexy though.

That is a whole lotta car to lug around for a 289. If it had a 390 it would be golden. Love the color exterior color though. I also prefer the 2-door.

Yeah that 289 is a bit of a slug, esp in single barrel form. Solid motor but thats a heavy heavy car.

Would be interesting to know what kind of ratio is in the rear. My guess is something like a 2.47 so it could attain decent mileage, but I am not super familiar with those years. That 289 would have to be pretty taxed. I am surprised the would put a motor that small in a land barge like that.

As far as I know the 289 was a uncommon engine to find in the 4door Galaxies, esp in the 500 trim. Most received larger 350 engines.

The 390 was a boat anchor. The 289 can be bored out to a 347 and with a little work, that engine can make 500+ hp. I know this for a fact as it is what my uncle has in his Mustang, a 347. It will chirp the tires in third gear pretty easily. Best of all, it makes all of that power in a small-block making maintenance MUCH easier. It is also a much more willing engine to rev.

Tons Of Fun:Are you sure that's a single barrel carb? I thought the 289s either came with a two barrel and four barrel.

Nope I'm not sure, I'm no Galaxie expert. You are probly right though.
